Review
“The story of the emergence of Jodrell Bank as a scientific establishment and the development of a new technique for studying the universe--radio astronomy--told by the man without whose determination, energy and faith the project would not have succeeded.”–The Good Book Guide

Book Description
In this volume the creator and director of Jodrell Bank, the world's largest radio telescope, tells the fascinating story behind the building of this huge telescope. The building of the telescope was fraught with mishaps and frustration--financial, political, and otherwise; yet, through his perseverance, Sir Bernard Lovell made its creation a reality.
